[FULL TITLE] Exclusive — Steve King: Republican House Members Considering Forcibly Removing Paul Ryan from Speakership

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told Breitbart News Tonight earlier this week that House Republicans are considering forcibly removing House Speaker Paul Ryan from the speakership via a “motion to vacate the chair” over Ryan’s efforts to undermine President Donald Trump’s agenda.

“It’s kind of odd that he has as much power as he has,” King said of Ryan during the appearance on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel with Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak on Breitbart News Tonight earlier this week. “But I do predict, and it is happening, that that power is diminishing. I also have got information that there are–I’ll say ‘members’–I say that plurally, with knowledge, that are considering introducing a motion to vacate the chair. If they do that, that will throw this place into a tizzy and force the kind of election for a Speaker that may bring out someone who is a lot stronger on this.”

A motion to vacate the chair would call a referendum on Ryan’s speakership to the floor. It could force a vote on whether Republicans want Ryan to remain as speaker as a lame duck for the rest of the year, especially after all these failures in strategy and his efforts to undermine the president with an amnesty bill that the president opposes and said he “certainly” would never sign.

Ryan claimed, falsely, to House Republican members recently in a conference meeting that the president did support the Ryan amnesty bill–something the president confirmed on Fox and Friends on Friday morning was not true. The president opposes the bill and Ryan’s continued claims that Trump did back the bill are now proven to be false.

Goodlatte’s bill would be as big of a national disaster as Moderate Republicans have done to his own state of VA.

The game is the same game Republicans have struggled with for years to agree of any sort of immigration compromise.

The pro-business Republicans who support expanding legal immigration and a possible path to citizenship for those living in the United States illegally sharply at odds with an populist wing that is fervently opposed to any path to citizenship and wants to curtail any legal influx to protect American jobs and wages.

Republicans are trying to deal with the Daca issue the Dems refused to deal with...and even they can’t come to agreement.....so they’ll push whichever bill stands to get the Dems vote, as they always do, instead of standing where Trump asked in the first place...

Frankly....Daca needs to be a Separate issue period! Not part of either bill. But they all like to use Daca as the football not just the Demorats.

A new immigrant visa would be created, open to DACA recipients and to the children of foreign nationals holding certain temporary visas. Those children must have lived in the United States ‘continuously for 10 years’.....

After at least ‘six years in (temporary) legal status’, DACA recipients could ‘apply for permanent residency’..with a point system awarded for things such as education level, age, English proficiency and the salary that an employer is willing to pay.

That complex system has been constructed to skirt conservative fears of creating a “special pathway” to citizenship for dreamers/daca, and it has the backing of key conservative leaders........

That's where it stood last week....I suspect Ryans bill has equivalent in it.

Ryan and Trump will kill the Midterm with Amnesty .

Trump 4 points are NOT in Ryan's K Street Amnesty Sell out .

Why support it now.

Why Trump just sold us out and stabbed us in the back for traitor like Ryan .

Trump 4 pillars look like a huge Lie .
He has made a huge mistake supporting Ryan his enemy over his base.

No gop voter wants amnesty .

Trump is screwed here by helping Ryan amnesty .

I wish these effing politicians stopped talking and just went ahead and did it. They bloviate but never act. It has worked for so many decades yet they do not seen to understand the winds are changing and citizens are fed up.

At this point, no one in the White House has seen any ‘legislative text’ that I am aware of....nor has any on Capitol Hill seen any ‘legislative text’. And so to suggest that they’re strongly supportive of this is just inaccurate until the text is there.

Ryan’s hoping and praying to be removed from office forcibly, so he can run for president as the anti-Trump.
He’ll get crushed...hilarity ensues!

Oh come on. He did so well as the VP candidate with his GOPe buddy, Mitt, during the 2012 elections. (do I really need a sarc tag?)

Ryano has as much chance as I do to be elected president. In fact I might have a better chance. Unless Trump and Pence get killed at the same time. If that happened then the countdown to the tribulation would start.

Your words.....”The bill details are not known”...

Until the bill ‘IS’ known then we don’t know what we’re talking about.
